ESPN’s annual Body Issue has just landed and current world number one, Courtney Conlogue, features, naked, powerful and incredible.
Each year, ESPN portraits the most finely-tuned forms on the planet, sans material. The Body Issue has become wildly celebrated and succeeds in removing the clothes from some of the world's very best athletes. A good reputation opens many tightly-locked doors and ESPN have a skeleton key. Somehow, it’s sexy without being sexualised.
Courts is a hyper-fierce competitor from Santa Ana, who Stab had the pleasure of getting better acquainted with earlier in the year. In ESPN's piece, among other topics covered, the 23-year-old discusses what it takes to perform at the level she does (hours in the gym, hence her impressive appearance), and learning to love her body. Here’s a snippet:
“I like that I've made my body for a purpose. For me, there was a long time when I was a little self-conscious because I was an athlete. I was in track and field at the time and I was super bulky and built up -- just thinking to myself that I don't look like your basic model. I had huge thighs because I was weight training and doing all of these dead lifts with resistance and squats. I didn't look like what I thought you needed to look like for surfing.

She has really worked hard. This is awesome. I wouldn't noticed her from previous shots.
Sometimes life isn't about finding yourself or other such talk. Sometimes life is about creating yourself. Simply Awesome.
